<div dir="ltr">Doug is a good speaker. I have been to his house several times when he and several others were doing EME at his house. He had a dish that had to be re-positioned manually in his driveway and sometimes had to wait until the moon cleared a palm tree. This was on 1296 MHz. He never got on other bands when I was there, but I know he has a yagi array for 432 MHz. The contacts were via CW (Morse code) or JT-65. I didn't get in on it, but in the past he and others were able to do EME from a 40 meter dish at the Owens Valley Radio Observatory south of Bishop. Using that big of a dish enabled them to make SSB (voice) contacts.</div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Jul 22, 2015 at 7:30 PM, yoshio <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:ak209@lafn.org" target="_blank">ak209@lafn.org</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">Pasadena Radio club will have a talk on communicating via bouncing<br>

Sidewalk EME (Earth-Moon-Earth)<br>
<br>
This talk is about developing 144 and 1,296 MHz EME stations<br>
at home that have the antennas on the driveway and the<br>
electronics in the garage. This is a very practical talk with an<br>
eye to giving the audience a realistic view of what it takes and<br>
what needs to be done to get on EME and work a variety of<br>
stations. It is simpler than it seems and more challenging than<br>
was thought. Therein lies the tale.<br>
<br>
Doug Millar K6JEY has been a ham since 1957 and has been<br>
doing EME since 1990. He is the ARRL Technical Advisor in<br>
Metrology, having written the 26th chapter in the ARRL<br>
Handbook on that subject. He particularly enjoys HF CW, AM<br>
and boat anchors, and microwaves. Doug has radios on bands<br>
up to 122GHz. He holds an EdD in Educational Technology<br>
and is a semi-retired professor.<br>
